AGenius.py is a LyricsGenius fork, making it easy to use, and async ready.

Key Features

• Pythonic async/await.
• Removed every possible instance of the Public API to make it safer.

Setup

You'll need a free Genius account to get access to the Genius API. This provides an access_token that is required.

Installation

Python 3.9 or higher You can use pip:

# Linux
python3 -m pip install agenius

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install agenius

Examples

Importing the package and initiating the main class:

import agenius
genius = agenius.Genius(token)

PUBLIC_API has been removed in this version. You have to pass an access token to the Genius() class.

To search for a specific song, you can either search by the title or song_id:

# by title
song = await genius.search_song("Never Gonna Give You Up", "Rick Astley")

# by song_id
song = await genius.search_song(song_id=84851)

You can also look up artists and their songs via artist_id's:

# look up an artist
artist = await genius.artist(artist_id=artist_id)

# look up their songs
song_list = await genius.artist_songs(artist_id=artist_id, per_page=10, sort="title")

Configurable parameters in the Genius() class:

genius.verbose = False  # Turns status messages off
genius.excluded_terms = ["(Remix)", "(Live)"]  # Exclude songs with these words in their title

More Examples
